This is a simple WordPress Plugin that changes your search results page.  When you search for something, WordPress automatically displays all posts and pages that match the search.  What it does not do is offer any kind of sorting.  This plugin addresses that.

Before the search results, the plugin will insert a line of text stating what the search was for (i.e. “wordpress”), then a total count of results found, then display how many results were found in each category with a link to search just that category.

Version

Current version is 1.0.  Development will be ongoing, and new features may be added.
